Swoop is a beanie pattern which uses diagonal twisting stitches over a stockinette base. The bulky yarn makes it a good quick gift knit and the stitch pattern is great for breaking up variegated yarn colors.

Hat is worked bottom up in the round, beginning with 1x1 ribbing before moving into the patterned section and then decreasing swirl by swirl. It is topped with a big fluffy pompom for extra height and includes instructions for both a slouch and regular beanie version.
